Chapter 1172 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 59
The Wu couple, worried about the situation, returned home at noon.
As I walked into the residential area, I felt a little worried, fearing that bad news might come my way.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he got home and saw Wu Xiaoran lying on the sofa playing on his phone.
"Why are you back?" Wu Xiaoran looked up, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.
Their work is quite busy, and under normal circumstances, it's impossible for them to come back at noon.
The Wu couple made up a random excuse, and Wu Xiaoran didn't press them for details, continuing to fiddle with his phone.
Even into the evening, the Wu couple still felt uncertain and subtly brought up the matter across the street.
"You mean the matter of Yi Huan's family storing her ashes?" Wu Xiaoran said. "Isn't this something those people brought upon themselves?"
"Don't you think there's anything wrong with it?" Wu's mother asked tentatively.
Wu Xiaoran said casually, "It's not in our house, so what?"
"Are you scared? If you are, I'll go talk to Yi Huan."
He knew that these two were not afraid of those things.
Even if they were timid, they knew that their neighbors were in the wrong in this matter.
"It's alright, don't go. It's just that everyone in the neighborhood is talking about it." Wu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, now truly certain that her son wouldn't go to Yi Huan's house to cause trouble.
"Do you think it's a good place to live?" Wu Xiaoran suddenly asked.
These words left Wu's mother and son somewhat bewildered. After a long while, Wu's father asked, "Xiao Ran, are you in a relationship? Do you want us to prepare a new house?"
They really couldn't think of anything else besides this.
Wu Xiaoran was a little speechless. "Never mind, I'll talk about it later," he said casually, and went back to his room.
Before you know it, the weekend is over.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoran was indeed not going to cause trouble for Yi Shulan and her daughter, the neighbors in the same building really couldn't sit still anymore, and they gathered again on Sunday night to discuss the matter.
In the end, they adopted Jiang Shaolan's suggestion to make things difficult for Yi Shulan first.
That evening, they organized themselves and went downstairs to dance in the square, placing the speakers close to Yi Shulan's home.
“Yi Shulan always goes to bed early. If this isn’t resolved, she won’t get a good night’s sleep,” Jiang Shaolan said through gritted teeth. “I don’t believe she can handle it.”
"Even if it's not bedtime, she doesn't like noise, this method will definitely work!"
As soon as the speakers were turned on, everyone participating in the square dancing started jumping.
They thought it wouldn't be long before Yi Shulan came out to cause trouble, but to their surprise, even after they were sweating profusely, they still didn't see Yi Shulan and her daughter come out. They couldn't help but wonder if the mother and daughter weren't at home.
"They should be at home. I didn't see them go out. I saw them strolling around the neighborhood around dinner time. I guess they were digesting their food."
“Never mind, keep jumping. I guess he’s just faking it,” Jiang Shaolan said.
Azhen and Yi Shulan were at home, of course. Yi Shulan was indeed afraid of noise, and she had already prepared for this. No matter what noise they made, it would not disturb Yi Shulan.
At this time, Yi Shulan was indeed asleep. Around midnight, the music outside finally stopped, accompanied by cursing and noise. It turned out that Jiang Shaolan and her group had failed to rouse Azhen and her daughter from the house, but instead disturbed the neighbors in other buildings of the community.
If it were 8 or 9 o'clock, they could tolerate it, but it's almost midnight and they're still making a scene. There's no way they could stand it anymore.
Some people have bad tempers and started causing trouble. Both sides were getting angry, and eventually, someone even started a physical altercation, which escalated the situation and alerted the police.
Inside the house, Ah-Zhu heard the commotion outside and found it all rather amusing.
Wu Xiaoran, who lived across the hall, was sitting on the sofa. He had originally planned to go out and yell at them, asking how they could let people rest when it was so noisy so late at night. But his parents stopped him and kept comforting him, saying it wasn't that noisy.
Wu Xiaoran figured that with such a commotion outside, someone would definitely be unable to bear it, so he held back for the time being.
And it really is true; things outside are now in complete chaos.
These people are really funny.
"The police are here, so it shouldn't be noisy anymore. You guys go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too." Wu Xiaoran returned to his room, pondering the matter in the neighborhood, wondering how it would ultimately end.
The elevator can't be dismantled; it all depends on whether Yi Shulan and her daughter can withstand the pressure.
The square dancing incident escalated to the point of involving the police, and Jiang Shaolan and the others dared not resort to this method again. Even though they had spoken to the police and claimed they were forced into it, the officers said they had no say in the matter. They were told that since they were neighbors, there was nothing that couldn't be discussed amicably, and they were advised to have a proper talk with Yi Shulan and her daughter.
Finally, Jiang Shaolan and the others left the police station, fuming and looking very unhappy.
"How about we get someone from the community to handle this?" Cheng Guangming suddenly said. "The police station doesn't handle this, but the community should be able to, right?"
He and Zhou Guifeng were quite familiar with the community.
With no other options, the group agreed to Cheng Guangming's suggestion.
The next morning, people from the community came to the door. Azhen had gone to work, so only Yi Shulan was at home.
Given the current situation, A-Zhuang is not worried that Yi Shulan will be persuaded.
As expected, when faced with the persuasion of community staff, Yi Shulan smiled and said that she was just keeping the ashes at home and not putting them outside to scare people, so she didn't think it would have any impact.
"It's my own fault for not having the ability. Even though housing prices have dropped now, it's still difficult to buy a decent house. In the current situation, I can't just take out a loan, can I? That would be too much of a burden."
"Now half of the light in the house is blocked, making it much darker. It's not a big deal to live here for a short time, but if you stay here for a long time, you'll get depressed. How can a person live without light?"
"I can't just dismantle the elevator."
"Nobody understands my situation, I really have no other choice."
"To be honest, I'm doing this out of desperation. The only solution is to move to a different place, but I don't have the money. I own my own house, so why should I spend money to rent one? This loss shouldn't be my responsibility."
"By chance, we discovered that we could make some money by storing ashes. Once we had enough money to buy a new house, we moved away."
"I didn't intend to make things difficult for anyone, it's just that life is really tough."
“Now they can all use the elevator, and I didn’t say anything. I just made some money to buy a bright house. Everyone should just bear with it. Once I buy a new house, this problem will be solved. They can use the elevator, and I can live in a new house. Everyone will be happy.”
